He did show heart but he’s overhyped. Btw, am I the only one annoyed with the whole “he’s huge for the weight class” talk? Dude reportedly weighed in at 190 the day of the fight. Burns is on record in his vlog a week out from the fight weighing in at like 192. Some of you really can’t tell the difference between being taller and being bigger.
 
He quit towards the end of second round. Shame Burns was planning to quit earlier than that.
 
People were saying Izzy has no chance against Whittaker after the war with Gastelum. This was a much needed litmus test and humbling experience for Khamzat. The only reason we are not too impressed is because we created a monster and then whine about his shortcomings.

I still believe in Chimaev’s championship abilities.
 
yawn.

this site is a dumpster full of dogshit the day after events lmao.

khamzat couldve won by submission and people would say its cause he was scared to stand, could win by knockout and it was cause he was scared of gilberts ground game.

He "could've" done a lot of things. Instead he went to hell & back with a guy we were being told he'd run through.
 
Dude has an absolute standup war with one of the hardest hitters in the division, has to go into the trenches because it's tougher than expected yet pushes forward and throws hard throughout the fight despite getting repeatedly cracked and even dropped.

Sherdog "That dude has no heart"
He has heart.

It's his brain that's lacking. He showed poor fight iq and his boxing defence was disappointing.

For a guy who based his legacy on how few times he got hit, tonight was a disaster and he'll shorten his career if he has too many more fights like that.

He's honestly better off going to Team Eagle and ditching All Stars so he can hone his top control and submission game.

Swanging and banging is going to get him KO'ed.
 
His inactivity in round 3, his comments about just wanting to win a title and retire, and the fact that he already nearly quit MMA, plus the hellish weightcut to 170 for him--he will never be a champ at 170 while Usman is there. And I don't think he's anywhere near to having the qualities to beat Adesanya either. He ended up being more like Sean O'Malley than I ever believed, but I'm happy I wasn't on the hype train.
You sound like an idiotic hater.
Khamzat's weaknesses yesterday were obvious to anyone who had been paying attention. No surprise there. He still got away with them through true grit and being game.
You are a fat hater and ignorant on top.

I dunno if he thinks that's his legacy, he's always said he wanted to have wars like Gus did with DC.
 
Some MMA fans are so fickle. Dude beats 3rd best fighter in the division in his 5th fight and that wasn't good enough. I think his performance was effected by anxiety. Big crowd, people's main event, big jump in competition and he still got the W
Anxiety? I don't think he looked anxious at all. His performance was effected by Gilbert being better than people thought.

He lacks experience. He is great but they threw him to early in the shark tank. He s emotional and need to learn to fight smarter.
Still a miracle he pulled it off.
 
I did. Its a nonsense point.

"He could've done [insert infinitely more impressive thing than he actually managed] & you guys would still hate".

Lol we'll never never know, because he didnt manage it.
yeah you definitely didn’t.
